Today’s life lesson comes courtesy of our Friend, Vickey Ritchie. The topic is Invitation and Inclusion…

Plucky Sidekick below, three precious Ladies above.

Β  Today at The Carroll News, we solidified the role that David Broyles will play in our September 13th gathering at Cavalier Park ! The obvious question is why should you care about this and the answer my Friends, comes straight from the desk of Vickey Ritchie.

Vickey Ritchie is the Gate Keeper for our Special Olympics Basketball πŸ€ in Carroll County, Virginia. More often than not, Vickey sets up a Sunday afternoon practice at the Hillsville Elementary School and proceeds to do two things.

First, she does everything she can to get the word out about what we call the 5 topics – Who, What, When, Why and How. The goal is to make everyone feel that they are invited to attend and there is no cost.

Second and more importantly, Vickey finds a role for EVERYONE who comes through the Gym door πŸšͺ. We call this part, Inclusion and it is quite possibly the Greatest Gift in the Toolbox 🧰 that Vickey carries around.

Vickey even finds a role for this guy!

Β  Now that we have done our best to spread the word in regards to inviting people to Cavalier Park on September 13th at Noon, its time to move on to Phase 2. Finding a role for anyone who wants to be a part of the festivities is easy enough, especially when folks let you know they are interested in participating.

David Broyles is a big part of our Community and has made himself available a number of times over the years when we were putting something together. This time will be no different as we are thrilled to find him a staring role!

The operation budget for the Gala is $26.00 and we are thrilled to add Plucky to the cast. Bonus is we landed him for just .12cents, as he knows that both Tom Brady and Peyton Manning deferred Big Bucks in hopes of their teams landing more talent around them.

Welcome πŸ™ to the Show, David and Thanks for leaving some money πŸ’° for us to land some Bigger Fish 🐟 down the road. Who are we kidding, David is us what Jaws was to Shark 🦈 movies πŸŽ₯.
